Its hard to say who I think is gonna win, but I guess I put my chips on Miles, but I think Tommy is going to do something cool too... I think he has gone ~565 this year, and being back on his home turf...

I looked into it, weather is supposed to be good (depending on the orientation of the runway) 67 degrees, partly cloudy, about 10 mph winds to the north

My bet is on Walker, Hollis, and Gio to NH.... in the words of kevin from 'The Office'... "if anyone ever gives you 1 in 1,000,000 odds on anything, you take it" :P .
The greater the challenge, the more glorious the triumph

And judging by the results, sadly I actually think you mean 570, and 580. (18 8 is 570)

Eitherway... that meet just made my week. AWESOME.
